AlmaLinux0 CommentsAlmaLinuxRSS Feeds

AlmaLinux has patched a moderate security vulnerability before Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), a first for the RHEL clone distro. AlmaLinux began its life as a 1:1 RHEL-compatible Linux distro, giving organizations a less expensive alternative to RHEL. When Red Hat announced its controversial decision to restrict access to RHEL’s source code, AlmaLinux pivoted to become Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatible. A major benefit of this approach is that AlmaLinux no longer needs to wait for RHEL to patch a vulnerability, a point the distro has just proven. AlmaLinux OS Foundation Chair benny Vasquez announced the fix for CVE-2024-1086 on…

The Dead-Simple Hackintosh Approach: Use Proxmox – Tedium: The Dull Side of the Internet

Proxmox0 CommentsProxmoxRSS Feeds

As I wrote relatively recently, we are not far from the expiration date for Intel-based MacOS. It could hit as soon as this year, possibly next. But it doesn’t mean there still isn’t room to have fun with it. Recently, I decided to take my old 12-year-old Xeon, the topic of a piece on how companies get rid of old machines at quite-low prices, to see what I could do with the old workhorse. (I was somewhat delayed because my power supply stopped working. That’s right, three power supplies in five years. To be fair, the second was taken out…

Forget Windows 11 — deepin Linux 20.2.2 doesn’t require your PC to have a TPM – BetaNews

deepin0 CommentsdeepinRSS Feeds

Windows 11 looks quite beautiful, but let's be honest... it is pretty much just Windows 10 with a fresh coat of paint. Sadly, Microsoft is requiring some pretty strict hardware requirements for the upcoming operating system, meaning many people could find themselves unable to upgrade. Even worse, the company has provided confusing communications regarding TPM requirements. Thankfully, even if Microsoft thinks your perfectly fine computer is obsolete, the Linux community doesn't think that. In other words, if your computer is incompatible with Windows 11 due to a lack of a TPM chip or other hardware issue, it can still run…

Arch0 CommentsArchRSS Feeds

Nice to see more Linux distributions make changes to ensure the gaming experience is good. Arch Linux is now following Fedora and Ubuntu on upping the vm.max_map_count value. The issue is the default from the upstreaming Linux kernel is just too low for some games like The Finals, Hogwarts Legacy, DayZ, Counter-Strike 2 and various others causing them to crash.
